A practical guide to the theory and practice of meditation as taught by senior monks of the Ramakrishna Order. The subjects covered include ways to calm the mind, japa, and methods of integrating spiritual ideals into one's daily living.
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
-Swami Vivekananda
